While my parents were visiting us in Phuket we had the luxury of staying in a condo right on the beach with a fully equipped kitchen. I wasted no time and started with preparing breakfast for everyone. Back in DC I always used to eat hard boiled eggs for breakfast; simple but I loved it. [...]

I never thought of myself as a breakfast person. Yes I’ve heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and shouldn’t be overlooked but I never gave much thought to it. Dinner leftovers for a morning meal? Sounds perfect. Granola bar? That’s fine too. Well my outlook has changed. Now that I [...]

It’s always hard to go back to work after a long weekend, made even harder when you take an extra day off and turn it into a 4 day weekend. And even harder when you’ve been having this for breakfast for the last few days and now need to downgrade back to plain old hard [...]

I’m not a big breakfast or brunch person (well except for my love of bacon of course – but I think that’s perfectly appropriate to munch on all day). Generally I have no problems eating leftover pizza, beef stew, puff pastry tarts etc , but if I am going to make myself a real breakfast [...]

February’s daring bakers challenge was to make quick bread (called that because it doesn’t require any kneading or rising time). Having never made beer bread before I went with that recipe. To tell the truth I don’t really eat bread. Not because I don’t like it per say, but because there’s a limited amount of [...]

This daring bakers challenge has probably been the simplest one yet. Who knew that biscuits are apparently so quick and easy to make? Not me. I had never made them before and always assumed that if Pillsbury is selling them refrigerated and rolled up in a tennis ball like container – they must be time [...]

This daring bakers challenge got off to a bad start. First of all I hadn’t realized I would need 7 days to complete it so I really should have gotten started weeks ago. I did look at the recipe just in time to be able to finish it before the posting date, but knowing that [...]

Another great daring bakers challenge. I had never made croissants from scratch before but had always wanted to learn! With 57 steps, the recipe can be a tad intimidating but with the tons of pictures provided it wasn’t too hard to follow. It does take a while though from start to finish. I started on [...]

When I go grocery shopping I always buy zucchini. And then I frequently forgot about it, it ends up hidden somewhere at the bottom of the fridge – and it goes bad. Such a shame but it really does happen all the time – (don’t even get me started on how often I buy a [...]

I made this omelet for breakfast while I was home for my mom’s birthday. Everyone loved it so much that I made it the next day for breakfast as well.  I thought it was great too but chose only to have 1 bite  (opting for shrimp and mayo for breakfast instead – don’t scrunch your [...]
